Povetkin vs Beck is Close To Done For December 5

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Sources close to the situation have informed BoxingScene.com that a heavyweight clash between IBF mandatory contender Alexander Povetkin and Owen Beck is being finalized for December 5 in Germany. The contracts are drawn up and just need to be signed. There shouldn't be any snags as all terms have been agreed to. [details]

THis is a 50:50 fight with that tool Atlas in his corner.

Yes, having that moron Atlas as a trainer isn't good for Povetkin.

Teddy Atlas knows Boxing. I don't understand why you call him a moron?

Because the number of fighters he's ruined far exceeds the number that have gone on to accomplish anything.

Another waste of time fight for Povetkin.

Another waste of time fight for Povetkin.

I mean, I don't expect Owen to do much of anything in this fight. But it should go a few rounds, and it gives Povetkin some much needed work. He hasn't fought since April, and will have to wait out Wlad-Chambers before finally getting a shot at the real title. Can hardly blame him for taking the fight.

If nothing else, it's a hell of a lot better than Damon Reed or whoever he was supposed to fight last month in B-More.

What a waste of time. Who wants to watch that, let alone pay to see it. How much of a financial hit do all parties involved take on this crap? The fighter most certainly loses the most.

I think you guys should give Atlas a chance before condemning the partnership between him and Povetkin. Who knows?- maybe they'll mesh well together and Povetkin will improve...
